Heritales proyecta cortos de animación para debatir sobre las guerras, sesión en la Universidad de Évora

El festival de cine sobre patrimonio Heritales, dedicado en su VI edición al tema de la paz, termina progamando muchas de sus sesiones a proyectar fimes sobre los motivos y causas que la rompen. En este sentido, organiza el día 20 de noviembre una sesión para hablar de las problemáticas de los conflictos en el contexto de una conferencia aula abierta en la Universidad de Évora. El objetivo es debatir sobre sus variadas causísticas, a nivel local, nacional e internacional, y plantear todas las cuestiones sociales que implican la guerra y los conflictos, generando siempre pérdidas para todas las comunidades afectadas.

Heritales ha programado esta sesión escogiendo entre los 64 filmes de animación seleccionados a concurso en la edición de 2024-2025, dedicada a la construcción de la paz. En este caso, María Zozaya ha diseñado una sesión sobre la crítica de las guerras, con cortos que permiten abstraer una serie de cuestiones transversales a los múltiples conflictos internacionales. La proyección tiene lugar en una sesión de debate en aula abierta de Historia Pública, y cuenta como mediadoras del debate a Mafalda Soares da Cunha, que dirige la disciplina de Historia Pública de la Universidade de Évora, y María Zozaya del CIDEHUS-UÉ y codirectora del festival Heritales. Ambas provocarán el debate sobre los conflictos en su dimensión colectiva e individual, tratando aspectos variados como sus motivos, las víctimas que lo sufren, las diferencias de género y toda una serie de cuestiones que revelan las costosas facetas emocionales de las guerras y conflictos políticos.

ABSTRACT: “Thanks to written sources by classical authors, we know that in Celtiberia (Spain), ‘the mothers commemorated the warlike feats of their elders to the men preparing for war or raiding, singing of their valiant deeds’ (Sallust, Histories 2.92). This short film highlights the role of women as guardians of collective memory during the Iron Age (5th–1st centuries BC), stories known in part through the iconography of their rock paintings and ceramic vessels. It portrays a memory rooted in oral tradition in which war and birds played a prominent role.”

This video is part of the temporary exhibition “Wings for War. Aratis and Celtiberia” (24 June – 5 October 2025, MAN: National Museum of Archeology, Spain).

  • Title: Rasga Mortalha
  • ABSTRACT: Rasga Mortalha comes from the legend of the owl “Suindara” – much told in the folklore of the North and Northeast of Brazil – to address the socio-political urgencies of the country. It is believed that the appearance of its white figure, followed by the wild cry – which resembles the sound of a cloth being torn in half – carries with it the sign of death. As a metaphorical vector for thinking, and also transcending, a fatalistic view of Brazilian history, the artist uses this popular tradition to cross centuries of public events with memories, references and personal imaginations, creating a charged and sharp narrative.
